GEORGE A. BEIDLER, OF MIDDLETOWN, PENN SYLVANIAL SPECIFICATIONformingpart of Letters Patent No. 233,966, dated November 2, 1880.

Application filed April 24, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE A. BEIDLER, of Middletown, in the countyofDauphin, and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Oombined Lamp Shade and Chimney; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of thisspecification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a combined lamp-shade and reversible chimney, as will be hereinaftermore fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a vertical section of my combined lamp-shade and reversiblechimney. Fig. 2 shows different forms of the reversible chimney.

My combined lamp shade and chimney is made in two parts, A and B, theupper part, B, having the shade 0 formed with it in one piece, andfitting on top of the lower part, A. The part B with the shade O is madeof opal or cream-colored glass, so as to throw the light downward, whilethe lower or chimney part, A, is made of clear glass.

The article, being in two pieces, allows free and full expansion andcontraction of the glass without being easily broken thereby, as if inone solid piece.

I am aware that a lamp-chimney provided with a metallic top having ametallic shade thereon is not new; and I am also aware that a reversiblechimneyis notnew, and I do therefore not claim such, broadly, as myinvention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The top B, and shade 0, made in one piece, of translucent material,formed with the concentric shoulders or ofi'sets a a, in combinationwith the transparent reversible chimney A, adapted to fit differentsizes of burners, substantially as and for the purposes herein setforth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoingl have hereunto set my hand this17th day of April, 1880.

J. J. MCCARTHY, HENRY STEHMAN.
